i've been getting more into NZ bands recently too, mainly through the drug violence blog. the best thing i've heard (other than meth drinker) is probably drug problem, but im not sure if they're still active or if they still have any releases available.

Neon Bastard - Meikhaus

http://ratkingzine.blogspot.com/

This blog also has a lot nz tunes plus other stuff

awesome, about to listen to it now

and yeah ive come across rat king too, pretty cool site. i'm actually pretty jealous of nz sometimes, perth is bigger than any city in nz but the quality of underground punk and hardcore is sorely lacking here. though ill be moving over to melbourne in the next year or two

Highly recommend Shortlived from NZ. Their demo and LP were fantastic.

yeah i agree, though i like hatred surge a lot more than mind eraser. both are great though.

mind eraser is p much favs, hatred surge in a close second

what did you think of the new material with rahi? i quite liked it despite some criticism it received, though i would say it's some of hatred surge's weakest material

That chicks vocals was one of the best things about Hatred Surge. They did a split with Mammoth Grinder I heard was good.

I want a new Mind Eraser lp already.

the split was good

new mind eraser lp would be nice

rahi is alright

new mind eraser lp would be awesome, yeah

for pv i've been listening to a bunch of bookburner and SFN today.

fuck a new lp, i want the prodigal son brings death II tbh

any new material would be welcome

new hatred surge is some beefy shit, but not quite as good as i expected. at least rahi sounds awesome still.

New Hatred Surge is fucking awesome imo. Got the Magnum Force- Self Loathing 7" today, shit slays like no other.

anyone heard dead language yet?

nah i haven't yet, thanks for reminding me though, been wanting to listen for a while now

everyone is saying its meh

when did you start listening to everyone justin

i trust the opinions of certain ppl

its alright, nothing new
